Wordless Wednesday: Snowstorm Snowy Owl

Every now and again, the photography gods smile on you - this was one of those times. While out birding in Michigan's Upper Peninsula with my husband Al and son Chris, we were engulfed in a lake effect snow storm complete with 30 mph winds adding to the challenges of photographing a wary subject. After spotting this female Snowy on a fence post, she flew across a field, landing at the maximum range of my lens. Sideways snow, a white subject in a white-out and yet, somehow, the shutter tripped in mid-wingbeat.

About Me

Welcome to In My Life, a blog about family history and genealogy as well as a journal of my personal photography, silent sports excursions, love of our Anahar line of English cocker spaniels and all things outdoors. I am a former co-owner of an advertising agency enjoying a new career as a social media writer; looking forward to the next chapter of my life with my former business partner, best friend and husband of 43 years. We are the parents of three grown sons, a beautiful daughter-in-law and our 3 English cocker spaniels. I am a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and Daughters of 1812. If you think we share a family connection or just wish to comment on a photo or blog post, I look forward to hearing from you.
